Thao Nguyen will hit the road soon with Kill Rock Stars labelmates Xiu Xiu for a tour of the U.S. and Canada (I'm talkin to you, Toronto and Montreal) in support of the recently released We Brave Bee Stings And All (Thao) and Women As Lovers (Xiu Xiu).

Thao once fantasized about creating soundtracks for the shows she saw on TV (which we've heard she used to do a lot--watch TV, that is).

"I was really into Party of Five. I remember Sarah McLaughlin was playing in the background on one episode. From then on, I kinda always wanted to be on the soundtrack," said Thao.
